Recensioner i media

"Santiago Levy is well placed to write about Mexico's flagship anti-poverty programme, PROGRESA/Oportunidades. As its principal architect, and as minister with responsibility for its implementation, he was among the pioneers of a new approach to poverty relief known today by the acronym CCT, or Conditional Cash Transfers. Levy provides an insider's account of the origins and evolution of his programme...[his] book is a welcome contribution to the debate over the effectiveness of current approaches to poverty." —Maxine Molyneux, Institutte for the Study of the Americas, University of London, Journal of Latin American Studies
